In Yandex Webmaster, this is done in the "diagnostics" section. You will need to go to the "security and violations" subsection. There you will see if everything is in order with your site or not.
Similarly, the site is checked using the Google tool. To do this, you will need to go to the "security issues" section. By analogy with Yandex, you will see the main problems of the site, if any.

The fact is that such a scanner will be able to detect not only the malware that constantly hangs on the site, but also the one that appears there under certain conditions. In fact, one of these services is the Rescan website.

In fact, this is the last way we want to introduce you today. As you probably already understood, for this you will need to download a third-party program in order to scan your site for viruses with its help. One of these tools is the Webroot scanner.
However, be careful, because such software is quite difficult to manage and requires you to have minimal knowledge of computer code.
